On Tuesday, January 23, 2018 this historic structure was officially transferred into the hands of someone who will be restoring her to her full glory. This old gal got a stay of execution and I cannot wait to watch her transformation!

Out of curiosity - is SPAR amenable to increasing Springfield’s density on some of its empty lots with either townhomes or mid-rise apartment complexes, as long as they’re architecturally consistent with the neighborhood character? Are parking requirements strictly enforced, or does Springfield aim to be pedestrian-centric versus auto-centric? Thanks.

Don't want to hijack this thread, as a loooong vacant fantastic historic home was just purchased by capable & competent buyer.....

But to your questions:

> Agreeable? Sure, hypothetically. The devil is in the details.

> Much of the neighborhood has no parking requirements. SPAR -in general- is not a fan of adding barriers to development at the moment. Springfield is very much pedestrain-centric currently, and will likely stay that way.
